The association was established by political allies of Chin, who is half Atayal and was elected on an Aboriginal ballot.
Chin is believed to be the de facto leader of the group. It has also created a special commission, in which Chin, her political allies and office aide are members, to handle the distribution of the money.
Mainland Affairs Council Deputy Minister Liu Te-shun (劉德勳) yesterday said he hoped the money would be distributed to typhoon victims in a fair and appropriate manner.
